My granddaughter wants me to make her a diabolo. I didn't even know what it looked like but she described it as two cones joined at the apex, Can anyone point me in the right direction to a site where I can download plans for this toy?

Choose a wood that's uniformly dense or you'll have trouble balancing the weight. Also don't make the axle too thin as they tend to get dropped a lot.
